I try to grab every opportunity I get to wrestle, and since there apparently are no guys I can wrestle here in Denmark I am keen to grab the chance when I hear that there are foreign wrestlers coming to Copenhagen for a holiday, and yesterday I was lucky to get to wrestle sydneyheel from Australia. As his profile name might indicate he was knowing Pro wrestling pretty well, and since I always had had an interest in Pro wrestling though rarely get a chance to practice it I was looking forward to a good Pro match with him.

I had learned from my previous matches with kleiner kerl in Berlin that if I started out being a bit more aggresive than I usually do I would have a good chance gaining the upper hand in a wrestling match, but I had not thought about taking the difference in our size into consideration. Sydneyheel was not only smaller than me but also much lighter, weighing only about two thirds of my own body weight. So when I came on him it must have looked like a flood wave hitting an unprotected house. In seconds I had him pinned down and I immediately realised that if we were going to have any Pro match I had to step back a bit. Apparently there was a reason why the guys we can see on show wrestling matches on TV all are from the heavy segment.

So I turned down the throttle to see what he could do and let him play with me. And must say it was quite relaxing when I had the feeling that I could turn the tables any time I wanted to. Yet now I had a chance to experience some Pro wrestling I should try to learn as much as I could, now I had the chance. Also there were various holds which I had only seen pictures of, but did not know how they should be made. Sydneyheel was remarkably good in headscissors, but I think I surprised him (as well as myself) when I was able to just step up and having his body hanging like a necklace from my neck by his ankles. Which I swiftly could turn into a piledriver!

One of the holds I've always had an interest in was the leg split, and several times before I had tried to do this, but had never got it to work. But much to my surprise I fairly easy succeeded with sydneyheel. When we had reached the point where I had thought of stopping because it then probably would be too painful for him, he just seemed to be able to take more. This was when he told me that he was working as a dancer, and this immediately explained to me why he had such a good and supple body. He maybe should have tried doing the leg split on me, but with my comparatively big muscles it would probably have been too hard for him to try, even when I relaxed my muscles.

He then applied the camel clutch on me, but even though I could feel that he was applying the hold the right way, I also could feel that he did not have the needed weight. Hopefully some other and more heavy guy one day can put me in a camel clutch for real. For like all other wrestling holds you can neither practice nor apply them by yourself. As return I successfully applied the full nelson on him, but whether it was painful for him or he just stopped short, fearing what I could have done if I had proceeded was not clear for me.

All in all we wrestled for two hours, but although it was great to wrestle sydneyheel I admit that it was an uneven match. Sydneyheel was the kind of wrestler I would love to spend more time with, but unfortunately I was too heavy for him. Yet still, the few hours I had had with him was a great experience, and I was happy that he had sent me the message that he wanted to wrestle me!

As previously planned my next wrestling match was to be in Berlin. I would be staying with kleiner kerl, my usual wrestling mate there, for there I knew that not only I would have a good chance to wrestle, but with him I also would get the chance to wrestle several of his friends I already had wrestled before. Still I had tried to find some local guys myself to wrestle while I was there. Though before then I was contacted by another wrestler, this time a Swiss guy, who wanted to wrestle me on Wednesday. Even though I am not too fond of wrestling on the day of my arrival, I accepted to do so, as he was to return to Switzerland the next day. But we never got to wrestle in Berlin, as for reasons unknown to me he cancelled our match before we were to meet.

Yet there was another one of my wrestling friends which I could wrestle while I was there. In February I had visited sportynord in Hildesheim, and while I was there I had wrestled another local guy there. This was Ringerbuddy, and when he caught the news that I was going to Berlin he wanted to meet up with me again, this time in Berlin. And since kleiner kerl accepted that I could share my bed with him he booked the ticket to Berlin so we again could meet there. On Thursday he had a nude match with kleiner kerl, but since I am not into naked wrestling I made do with spectating. Once they had finished wrestling I decided that it now was too dark for us to fight. So we settled for wrestling on Saturday, as we both were to wrestle Sperling on Friday. But we never got that far, because on Friday morning Ringerbuddy woke with a severe back pain and he decided to return home the same day.

On Friday kleiner kerl had to work, so there was only me to wrestle Sperling. I had wrestled him several times before, and I knew that he was most likely to win over me again, like he had done the previous times. Though for me it is never a problem to lose to the better wrestler, for at least this would give me a good workout, yet still I maybe could learn something from the match. And maybe one day I could win? Though this was not going to be this time, as he had me pinned even before I really got started and then started playing with my body - and in particular my cock. I also try to avoid being teased erotically in wrestling, for I know that it is difficult for me to resist such tease, and once he had made me cum I knew that I would be drained of all my powers. He had tried that a year earlier, and then I had fought my way free, but this time I didn't succeed. So clearly he this time won over me!

Back at kleiner kerl's apartment it was planned that we should have a meeting with catchbear1 on Saturday, and this time is should be with the addition of a bit of catching and a bit of CBT. I knew pretty well what CBT was, but was not quite so sure about catching. Catchbear1 is probably the heaviest of wrestlers around kleiner kerl, but I had the impression that I still could handle him and also had won over him several times. So maybe this was why he now wanted to add the catching part, which according to his profile name was more his home ground. But this was another turn-down in Berlin, as catchbear1 had to cancel with short notice because one of his family members unexpectedly became sick. So one could say that this Berlin visit didn't give me the result I had hoped for, but at least I had kleiner kerl. He is always ready to wrestle me which also is the main reason why I always stay with him when I am in Berlin. And now we had a full weekend to wrestle in!

Kleiner kerl is probably the guy I have had the most wrestling matches with. I am 17 cm taller than him and also 16 kgs heavier. 6 years younger with more opponents than him - but probably he has had more matches than I have had, at least he seems to have more experience than I have. So we seem to be a pretty good match. This Saturday we had two rounds, and in the first I started out slow like I usually do, so soon he was over me. Though with kleiner kerl not being too heavy I could cope with that and try different ways of escaping when I saw the possibility, and in the end I succeeded and I managed to turn the tables. Now it was kleiner kerl's turn to taste his own medicine, so to make sure that I could keep him there I made use of my weight advantage, which I mostly try to avoid with lighter guys to equal out the stats. But kleiner kerl just had had his attempt to pin me down, so now it was pay-back time, and after a while he gave up.

This first round ended pretty equal, and while we were discussing the match afterwards kleiner kerl told me that I could do better than this, for apparently I clearly had the muscle for it. Maybe I had, but putting the blame on my limited experience I told him that I often did not knew what to do next, and therefore always started the match pretty modestly to find out what my opponent's first step was and then react onto this. But kleiner kerl told me that my opponent easily could take this as a sign of getting down voluntarily with no real attempt to fight and therefore make the process short. I had never thought about that, and this made me think back on Squashlad, the guy I had paired up with in 2015 during the International Wrestling Camp in Germany. He had constantly told me that I should be more brutal when we wrestled, but I had never seen myself as brutal. Maybe he had meant that I should be less modest, which would give far more meaning to me.

In our next round later that afternoon I had decided that I this time would try to immdiately pin kleiner kerl in the same position as the first round had ended with, instead of waiting for his first move, and once I got there I then would consider what to do next. Much to my surprise this gave me a better result than I had expected. Clearly it seemed easier to get to the wished result if moving in that direction right from the start than trying to push it through in the heat of the match. For now it didn't take long time before I had him pinned, and then I could counteract his various attempts of breaking free once they showed up - and in the meantime I could have time to relax. It seemed that I needed less power to keep him down when I was on top of him than breaking free from an opponent on top of me.

We wrestled again on Sunday, and this time I tried to change position so I could get him in a different hold and use my weight advantage less, but every time I did so he immediately tried to break free, so I soon realised that it was best to go immediately for the pin. Though it would be better if I had more ideas of what I could go for. Anyway it was good to finally have a clear idea of what I could go for in the start. I was sure that this would not be possible every time, and it would be hard to achieve with a heavier guy than kleiner kerl. Though other ideas I could work on when I later have other opponents pinned. Time will tell. At least I as usual already have my next wrestling possibility planned, which will be in Dresden in December. I probably then will meet my heaviest opponent so far, horti, though we do not plan to wrestle then. But there are other guys I can wrestle in Dresden!

July was the first month this year where I to my dismay could not get to wrestle, but I accepted this loss as I could wrestle twice in August when I already and beforehand had booked a wrestling travel to Berlin, and later that month was lucky to find somebody else to wrestle in New Jersey. And this seems to repeat itself now, for I had expected to wrestle an Australian guy coming to Copenhagen mid October for a conference, but his hotel room was not free when he arrived. So the hours we had planned to wrestle he had to spend in the lobby, waiting for his hotel room to become available. So I never got to wrestle in October, but just a few hours before October was running out I got a message from another guy visiting Copenhagen, and he also would like to meet me for a wrestle!

This guy, Bearlotta, was someone I had heard about before from my wrestling mate in Berlin. He had wrestled Bearlotta before and he warned me that he was a very strong guy. But I thought that he did not look so strong at all to me, and I have never avoided wrestling the strong guys, for this would only be a good challenge for my body. Also, with the limited chance I have to meet other wrestlers here in Copenhagen, I felt that I could not allow myself to lose any chance I could get to wrestle. And a few days later I met up with Bearlotta in his hotel room.

Bearlotta was a bit shorter than me but also a bit heavier, so once we had finished the usual talk of getting to know each other before the match, he took off his normal clothes and showed him in just his black singlet, while the colorful guy I am changed to my orange leotard. I immediately knew that my Berlin mate had not said too much, for I could see that Bearlotta was pretty strong, especially I noticed his big thighs. I knew that I then better should keep a distance to them, for if he got the chance to get my body between those massive thighs I would not have much chance, even though I always have seen myself as a leg's man and have some pretty strong thighs myself. But Bearlotta's thighs were just plain massive!

I maybe should not have focused so much on his potential of squeezing me in his leg scissors, for such strong thighs can also be used for other things, which I felt immediately once we started to wrestle. For like a sumo wrestler he bulldozed me out of the bed! I returned back to the bed to continue the round, and this time I was prepared for what I was to expect, but naturally Bearlotta had other aces up his sleeve. This time he wanted to keep me there - and made sure that I this time would stay, for he now put his full weight on top of me so it was hardly possible for me to move. He was not so heavy that I could not push him up, but I could not push him to the side, as he with his strong legs made sure that he would remain on top of me. End of first round.

The second round did not give much difference compared to the first round. Maybe he was just too strong for me, or maybe it was just too late in the day for me to have full power. I had walked pretty much in the afternoon, and just before leaving home to meet Bearlotta I had almost fallen asleep, but wanted to meet this guy anyway so I could feel the powers of the guy, which my Berlin mate had recommended me. I also had the impression that in this second round he was a bit more easy on me, or maybe our match now turned a bit erotic. As my opponent's name can lead he was furry as a bear, which I also am myself, but Bearlotta also seemed to start the rounds with a light growl. While other wrestlers might try to intimidate their opponent with trash talking, this light growl maybe was Bearlotta's way to do so.

I finally escaped from his clutches in the late evening, and when I the next days put my wrestling leotard in the washer I could think back on a good match I had had with Bearlotta. Not so much a fight, for I had been to weak wrestling him, but I hope that I could have a chance to wrestle him some other time. Bearlotta is traveling pretty much for his work, so it is not impossible that he can come to Copenhagen again. Otherwise I for the next wrestling match will have a reunion with Berlin when I go there again in about ten days!

With the wrestle I had in Berlin this August I had no particular need to wrestle more that month. But this Berlin wrestle was more a way out following the no-show I had from Flensburg in July. As I do all my wrestling when I am abroad or making use of the rare opportunity that a MeetFighters wrestler happens to visit Copenhagen and wants to wrestle me here, I of course was trying to do some wrestling when I later that month was to visit my Trenton friend in New Jersey for participating in the annual Delta bondage camp. For on top of this Delta camp I had added some extra days before and after the camp, days I had hoped to use for wrestling.

I already knew a few wrestlers in the area, guys I maybe could have a re-match with, but while the one guy had no time to wrestle during the days I was in New Jersey, the other one simply didn't reply to my messages. But one guy, Pete, aka Hairywrestler midwest, would be happy to wrestle me. And since he was working in my new neighborhood and had a hotel room here he also had room for wrestling, which my Trenton friend did not have. So he picked me up at my friend's place and took me to his hotel. He was a bit lighter, shorter and younger than me and we also had about the same number of previous opponents, but he seemed to feel more home in a wrestling match than I did. Apparently he had more experience than I had, for it seemed that he liked to put me in some hold and then lean back to see what my reaction was before he moved on. This was repeated in our second round, but I must say that he kept our matches safe and sane, just as we had agreed on.

Following the Delta camp I had two more matches, and for those I could only hope that in these I could stay overnight, for those matches would not be in Trenton. The first one was with a guy Tom, aka ats. Initially I had planned to book a hotel in New York, for this guy lived on Upper East Side but spent his summer in Stone Harbor on Jersey Shore, and since I could stay the night with him there I dropped the plan of staying the night in New York. Tom was older than me so with him I should have a chance. And maybe I could, but I was charmed by his hospitality. I had arrived in the right time for his usual Happy Hour and it was an enjoyable time to sit on his own pier sipping a drink while enjoying the view over the sea. Yet we finally got to wrestle the following morning but maybe I was a bit too unfocused, so it was easy for him to pin me down as well. But I hope to visit him again when next time I am in New Jersey - and not just for having another Happy Hour with him.

I anyway made it to New York after all. Earlier I had chatted with Neil aka yonkerswrangler about wrestling him while I had planned to have this hotel room in New York, but this match I wanted to cancel as I no longer would be staying the night in the hotel and thus no longer could offer a place to wrestle. But Neil had mats in his own apartment and also offered me to stay the night, so when I realised there was a direct bus from Stone Harbor to New York I saw no reason not to meet this potential opponent and was happy that I did. We had about the same stats, him a bit shorter and a bit heavier than me and with about the same number of opponents, so this should be a fairly even match. He preferred to wrestle in speedos, but with his good body it was obvious that our match slowly had an erotic edge. We both were into a sweaty wrestle, and this was what we got, but while he could stick to wrestling I had difficulty in keeping focus clear. Safe and sane had always been the top of my list when wrestling, and Neil taught me a few tricks I did not know about. So Neil is one more guy I can only hope to wrestle again.

I returned home with three wrestling matches, and all of them I would like to repeat next time I come to New Jersey. But I have learned that I should focus more on what I would like to do when wrestling, for it seems that I mentally am too fragile to give me a sure outcome. Though I also think that it is important for both guys to have fun when I wrestle. Next match will probably be a hotel wrestle when another American wrestler will visit Copenhagen later this month!

In June I had wrestled every calendar month through a whole year, but found no reason to stop here. I have the feeling that wrestling is good for my body and all the unexpected movements are better for the recuperation of my body after the 2013 stroke than the basic gym work, where you simply decide what weight to work with - and this weight doesn't change. But a wrestling opponent can change his pressure in a split second, which also is why I like to wrestle the heavier guys, for those have a larger scope.

I liked the sweaty outcome of a man-to-man wrestle, so of course I had also planned some wrestling in July. Although I had some doubt if this was going to be a real match. I had been challenged by a guy in Flensburg, and during our initial chat I got the feeling that I had chatted with him before. Two years earlier I had intended to wrestle another MeetFighter member in Flensburg, but a few days before I was to meet him he had silently disappeared from the site. I then never took the train to Flensburg, but chatting with this other (?) Flensburg guy I had a feeling that this maybe could happen again. So I wanted a confirmation from him that we actually were to meet before I booked the train ticket. And this confirmation never came.

At that time it was too close to the end of July to make some other arrangement in July, but then I could hope for August. Then I would meet my good friend kleiner kerl in Spandau, and with him I could be sure that I would get to wrestle. As always I tried to book some extra matches on both sides of the weekend, and another Berlin guy in Pankow could be a good choice, for I had wrestled him three times before. So we settled for a meeting at his place on Friday. But when I finally got there after a long subway ride and two bus rides he wasn't there and didn't reply to the text messages I sent him on my cellphone. And after having waited for an hour I returned to my friend in Spandau.

Saturday broke, and for that day we were to meet four other guys at another wrestler's place, one I had not wrestled before. But when we got there he had just fallen down the stairs in the early morning, so he wasn't fit for fight. And two of the other guys also failed to show up - but at least we were three guys who were ready to wrestle. Not the six I had hoped for, but better than the two previous match plans which had become naught.

I had not been wrestling for two months now and was expecting that I wouldn't be able to do much good in wrestling, but it seemed that my body had other ideas. It felt like my body had an urge to wrestle - or maybe it was just happy to wrestle an only 78 kilo opponent. I had wrestled kleiner kerl several times before, and I knew that with him it was going to be a close contact match because of his small size. Also he had told me that the only way he would be able to win over me was to get on top of me so he could get the overhand. In general I don't mind him getting on top of me, for this would then be a more even match for us. But he never got on top of me. I got him in a headlock, and with his attempt of breaking free I got him cornered up the wall of the room. It being impossible for him to move away or escape my hold he could see no way out and had to give in.

Then it was time for me to wrestle the other guy, catchbear1. I have always enjoyed to wrestle him, even though (or maybe because) he is 20 kilos heavier than me. I had always had the impression that he was a better wrestler than me, and with him I had often been challenged in different ways. This time he would put his full weight on top of me, and I should try to do my best to break free from under his heavy body. I was quite used to wrestle heavier guys, so it was a pretty fair match - though it didn't last so long. For during the intense fight I put a strain on my neck muscles, so this time it was my turn to give in. So in the rest of the session I had to leave the mats to kleiner kerl and catchbear1.

On Sunday we had no particular plans, but in the morning kleiner kerl had chatted with a new MeetFighter member and invited him to come over for a wrestle. And much to our surprise he showed up the same afternoon. This guy, berlinfunfighter, was younger that both of us and also heavier than both of us, so while I was content with his build and hoped that his younger agility could outmatch his less experience, kleiner kerl only had more experience. Hopefully it would be enough for him. They had a long fight, but in the end kleiner kerl had to give in again.

Then it was my turn to wrestle berlinfunfighter, and we soon went into a ground fight. Which normally is good for me to get to control my opponent. At least as long as I was on my left side, but when I was flipped to my right side I could clearly feel the strain in my neck from yesterday's match. Which was a quite unpleasant feeling, for although I knew what I should do I was unable to follow it through because of the pain in my neck. I was about to give in because of the hopelessness, but with my arm under my head I could limit the pain, and as long as I didn't have my shoulders in the mat I had not lost. Although in a real tournament I would have lost because of passivity. In this situation I could just remain on the side of my body and try not to be flipped over. Berlinfunfighter was heavier than me, but not much, and I had always been good in resist being flipped over. Even when having to keep my head in the relaxed position I resisted his numerous attempts of flipping me over, so in the end kleiner kerl decided our match unsettled.

I was supposed to have another match on Monday, but a few hours before we were to meet he sent me a message on MeetFighters that he no longer liked to wrestle me. I find it strange that so many wrestlers cancel planned wrestling matches. But I was happy that at least berlinfunfighter had followed our match though, particularly such short-noticed one. Also I knew that kleiner kerl and catchbear1 were always reliable, so I left Berlin with a few, but good matches. I felt happy that I could still have fun in wrestling and that I had not lost much in the previous months' wrestling inactivity. And I might get even more wrestling this month, for towards the end of the month I will fly to New Jersey in USA, and have already made plans to wrestle guys there. Hopefully at least some of them will be there and ready to wrestle!
